5.1 Water Resistance

Your PINDOWS PDS-8007A watch is rated for 50 meters (5 ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for everyday use, such as splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. However, it is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, hot showers, or prolonged submersion. Avoid pressing buttons while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water entry.

5.2 Cleaning Your Watch

To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch case, band, or display. Ensure the watch is completely dry before storing or wearing.

5.3 Battery Replacement

The watch uses a Lithium Metal battery with an estimated lifespan of up to 3 years. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery.
